Both the men’s and women’s teams of De Zaan clinched the Dutch Supercup yesterday in Amersfoort, marking a stellar start to their season.

In the men’s final, reigning Dutch champions De Zaan handed GZC Donk’s new coach Yuri Szeles his first defeat, with an impressive 16-11 victory. Key performances came from Don Rempt, who netted four goals, and Angelo Corver, contributing three more.
